Quick Analysis:

After a third placing in his first career run last time out at Eagle Farm, I think Subterrain can get into the winner’s stall this time out. He goes down to a non-metro race, and that’s why we’re getting even money for the 4YO. He does draw wide for this one, but hopefully that means he can stay out of trouble in what is a reasonably sized field.

Quick Analysis:

This will be Cool Rupert’s third career run, and he has been fairly successful so far without managing to get a win. He kicked things off with a second, and then last time out, he finished third, both runs coming at Kembla Grange. The form from those two races should stand up this time out, and Mitchell Bell retains the ride.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Horsham now for the Horsham Cup, and a few runners are sitting around the $4.00 to $5.00 mark. I like the look of I Am The Empire, which presents decent value at $5.00.The gelding is coming off a BM74 win at Moonee Valley, and he finished third in his run before that in the Benalla Cup. Jockey Ryan Houston retains the ride.

Stats and Insights

  • tip
    Beauer ran a strong third at Moruya last start and strips fitter for this. She is a leading contender in Race 2 at Lismore.
  • tip
    Insta Worthy resumes after 22 weeks and impressed with a trial win. He looks well placed to strike fresh in Race 4 at Lismore.
  • tip
    Waku Waku was narrowly beaten fresh at Eagle Farm and gets winkers on for this one. She is fitter and primed to strike in Race 5 at Sunshine Coast.
